Carl and Mark close out the show with thoughts on reports Christian Pulisic sustained a bone bruise and microfracture in his leg against Belgium and discus whether or not he deserves a pass with knowledge of new reports and agree he still deserves some of the criticism for his overall performance for the "first 75 minutes" of the match.

Carl and Mark are joined by Grant McAuley as they discuss the latest on the Braves and preview their next series with the Cardinals.

Carl and Mark get back into Falcons talk as they discuss the QB position and whether or not the team will have to say at the start of camp whether or not Michael Penix Jr. will be a full participant, which Mark makes his case for why he believes if they do not make it known by the start of camp, then Tua Tagovailoa will start. As they discuss, Carl explains, he believes the Falcons will not play any games with fans in regards to the starting QB competition and will know "well ahead" of Week 1 who will be the starter.

Carl and Mark revisit their conversation in regards to the Pirates pulling Jared Jones while he was in the midst of a perfect game as Mark explains he believes the Pirates should have allowed Jones to have a shot at making history. As Carl responds, he noted that while he loves to see history being made, he was fine with the Pirates decision because he believes the Braves may not have won the game had Jones remained in the game. Carl also explains that with Jones having had the same procedure as Spencer Strider, he understands why the Pirates were cautious with Jones.

Carl and Mark are joined by Mike Griffith as they discuss the latest Georgia Bulldogs' headlines and whether the offense has to ride the shoulders of Mike Bobo or Gunner Stockton.

Carl and Mark get into more football talk as they share more thoughts on Seasn Payton and how he comes off as complete opposite of what Raheem Morris was as the Falcons head coach and agree one of the reasons Morris' tenure in Atlanta was not successful was due to his unwillingness to move on from bad hires when it was necessary.

Carl and Mark get into some football talk as they discuss Mark's thoughts on believing the Falcons defense will take a step back this season, noting the loss of Kaden Ellis is a significant one that the team will have to replace. As the conversation continued, Carl states he believes Divine Deablo showed he has the talent to slide over and fill the void left by Ellis.
